screw in the bottom of the exhaust tube was probably a "running repair" done years ago (not by me i might add)
Screws in the end cap? well i've got a few with nuts and screws so not entirely sure about that, but if i was to guess i'd say the nut type was earlier, screw type slightly later (pre 55 ish) maybe later. Strange things these seagulls, they dont always conform to rules.
On reflection it was a "bitsa", but a nice looking "bitsa".
The 2 charles seemed to like it!
It looked good from 6 feet away at least!
I still cant beleive that was nearly 3 years ago. where has that time gone?
The flock has grown quite a bit since then
